Caliente has been licensed to operate online sports betting by the Illinois Gaming Board (IGB). Following the recent approval, Caliente's "Caliplay" platform is expected to go live in the coming months and hit its first US market.
On the other hand, IGB rejected Fubo Sportsbook's request and confirms that two licenses are still available in the state where DraftKings, BetMGM, PointsBet, BetRivers, Caesars and Barstool are already operating.
Regarding this rejection, the company has informed that the reason given by the board was: “a 'key person' associated with the company was not eligible for the license and, therefore, the company was disqualified as a bidder”. The company does not agree with the decision and is evaluating its options.
The state of Illinois has confirmed that during January and February they collected $101.8 million (approximately €96.6 million) in revenue with a retention rate of 6.6% during those two months.
